„Me or us? The fight for a sustainable future“
In a world grappling with pressing environmental, social and economic challenges, a vital question emerges: How can we reconcile individual and collective interests to create a sustainable future? This thought-provoking series of events explores this tension and invites participants to consider the balance between self and community, individual responsibility and solidarity, competition and cooperation.
Through compelling presentations by experts from a range of disciplines, we’ll address fundamental questions about morality, responsibility and sustainable behaviour. From philosophical insights and economic theories to literary reflections and practical solutions, the series offers a rich, interdisciplinary understanding of the dynamics between individual and collective action.
